Fintech is barely a generation old but already has a daily impact on billions of humans across the globe. Financial advisers can leverage technology to strengthen their individual client value propositions and accelerate their business growth. Like most businesses, today’s financial advisers need to create time, scalability, and client growth.
Technology can help overcome these challenges, first by creating time, second by creating scalability, and third by enabling a stronger client proposition.
A creator of time
According to the results from the 2019 United States Advisor Metrics report from Cerulli Associates, advisory firms that have fully adopted technology spend 34% less time resolving client service issues and have 24% more time for practice management activities, highlighting the ability of technology to help advisers focus on the most important parts of growing their business. Heavy technology-using advisory firms also report an average of double the assets under management of their ‘light’ technology-using counterparts, due to time and scalability benefits.

A creator of scalability
Technology can enable advice practices to build efficiencies to enhance processing and administration by taking care of their back-office, which ultimately lowers costs. By automating processes, we gain efficiency and speed and reduce human error, and the service experience can be enhanced and personalised.
A stronger client proposition
How do financial advisers secure a client growth and retention strategy? Many advisers have used client segmentation models for years, based on age or size of wealth. Fintech offers powerful tools for advisers to personalise the client experience and develop a differentiated proposition.

Data has power when it comes to personalisation
As a Linked Investment Service Provider (LISP) platform, Momentum Wealth is increasingly exploring ways to use the power of data and information in our systems to hyper-personalise client communication and reporting.
Data can be used to prove whether the advice given has truly helped clients achieve their personal financial goals or predict whether it will. Where the data proves otherwise, it can provide guidance to adapt the plan or strategy.
The reasonable approach is for an adviser to identify the key aspects of their business that they believe need improvement and then consider technology that provides a solution for their specific pain points.
